Keeping your body squeaky clean is good for many reasons. For one, everyone appreciates cleanliness. You sans stench is stellar. Giving your parts a fresh scrub is good for your immune system and body, too. Now, when you support personal care companies that use organic and natural ingredients, and have cruelty-free, vegan soaps, you also give goodness to the environment (and your furry and feathered friends).

Ditch Traditional Soap

Many personal care products are packed with icky ingredients. There’s no point keeping any of those chemical-laden products around your home. Anything containing soy protein or alcohol should be scrapped.

Now that you’ve ditched the old, it’s time to welcome the new and make a decision. Do you want to make or buy your organic, vegan soap?

Filthy Farmgirl is a company that makes all-natural soap that’s not tested on animals. According to Treehugger.com: “The herbs and spices found in the vegan-friendly soaps are mostly sourced from local organic farmers—that is, when they’re not grown and harvested on site. Filthy Farmgirl’s headquarters and farm are completely solar-powered and off the grid, with a similar setup in the works for its California office… Packaging-wise, you’ll find that the soap wrappers are made using 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper by Greenline Paper.”

While all of this filthy girl’s products may not be vegan, her company is pretty stellar.
